Season’s Greetings was given away with ZX Computing magazine back in Xmas ’83.

It runs through a series of carols while showing images of the star of David shining on the stable and a Christmas tree. It’s pretty basic but the relative newness of home computing back in 1983 meant it would have been a welcome example of what the Speccy could do as a home computer rather than just a gaming system.

As a type-in program it allowed you to test your BASIC skills and also put in your own personal message for any loved ones you could persuade to look at your Speccy.

I’ve no idea if the use of multiple screens meant a lot more time was needed compared to the single-screen Your Sinclair card but it at least provides another option if you want one.
